[Verse]
DmCBb
Remember how we used to party up all night
CDm
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
CBb
Drinking in the small town firelight
C
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)
DmC
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
BbC
Walking down the street as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
DmC
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys
BbC
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
DmC
There she was my new best friend
BbC
High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind
DmCAm
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys."
[Chorus]
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
BbC
Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse
DmC
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first
DmC
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
Am
It's all gonna happen
[Verse]
DmCBb
And that's where the beginning of the end begun
CDm
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
GBb
We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job
C
(With the boss)
DmC
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
BbC
Baby's table dancin' at the local dive
DmC
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
Am
Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night
DmC
Know we used to go break in
BbC
to the hotel pool, glittering we'd swim
DmC
Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops
A
screaming, "Get us while we're hot"
"We don't give a whaaat!"
[Chorus]
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
BbC
Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse
DmC
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first
DmC
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
Am
It's all gonna happen
[Verse]
DmC
The prettiest crowd that you had ever seen
BbC
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
DmC
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens
BbC
And you know something?
DmC
They were the only friends I ever had
BbC
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
DmC
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
BbC
Crying 'cause I know I'm never comin' back.
[Chorus]
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
BbC
Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse
DmC
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
Darlin' little queens do you know what you're worth?
DmC
I'll tell you everyday till you get it, girl
Am
It's all gonna happen
BbC
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
DmC
This is why we rule the world now, baby.
BbC
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
DmC
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh.
